The fighting began Saturday when Taliban militants attacked a paramilitary camp near the border with Afghanistan, the Indo-Asian News Service reported Sunday.

Geo News Channel put the Taliban death toll at 50, the Press Trust of India reported.

Taliban militants have increased their attacks in South Wazirizstan in retaliation for operations against them in the Buner, Dir and Swat districts in the North West Frontier Province, PTI said.

The Pakistan Army said it has killed hundreds of Taliban militants in those districts and last week wrested control of the key city of Mingora from the Taliban.
